Well, I made the long awaited call to PCRM to advise them of day one of my cycle. So I have now started the first medication, which is the birth control pill. How ironic eh?

Our first appointment is booked for Monday, March 15. Just a few days away! Needless to say we have been scrambling to book flights, hotel, car rental, and to get the...

Today is the day I call my payment in for IVF/ICSI treatment and I have a feeling of nervousness and excitement. I am excited to finally get moving on with our treatment but nervous about what lies ahead. I am trying to take it one step at a time and trying not to jump ahead about all the what ifs.

When I got my package in the...

Hello,

My husband and I had been ttc since 2003 before we were even married. We married in Sept 2004. I never had regular cycles unless I was on the pill. I only had a period 4 times per year. In December 2004 I had what they think may have been a miscarriage (not sure why they could not tell us for sure but who knows). I had a major bleed and...

Now 13w4d PG, I had my first real prenatal appointment with the midwife. She went through the normal set of questions to get all my background information. I was a little surprised when she mentioned that pregnancy can bring out a whole lot of emotions around sexuality and to be warned if there was any history of sexual abuse etc.

and it's a BFP. The beta is 77 at 11dp3dt. It seems like a low number, but my son started out as 27, so I am happy with it.

I did poas (yes, I kept it a secret) so I was hopeful for a positive.

With my son, the clinic made me go through the anxiety of bi-weekly and then weekly repeats for a month and then E2 and P4 continued for another...

I had my post op follow up yesterday with my doc following a hysteroscopy and laproscopy on February 5. He had come to see me in the hospital after the surgery and let me know that my septum had been very tiny (smaller than he thought it would be) and that I had had some very minor endo that he had cauterized.

The appt yesterday went really...

Those are the words every woman who has Unexplained Infertility wants to hear from her doctor but we don't. We hear "I don't know", "I wish I could tell you", "We've done all the tests", "let's just do IVF". Well, I went to a naturopath today and she told me "there must be something...

Just thought I'd share these photos of Nicholas' 1st birthday! He and I will clearly be sharing cake from now on - he loves it, maybe more than I do! : ) We feel so blessed every day!!

I am so grateful for all the people in my life, more specifically, the children in my life. My 5 nephews and two nieces, my beautiful step-daughter, and my students.

I teach Kindergarten, and not a day goes by that I don't get a hug from one of them (unsolicited too!). I've had countless children tell me "I love you teacher"...
